Technical question - satellites and TVs There are online companies that will let you do this. I also think x-10 has a set up for this where you watch your house via the internet from anywhere in the world.www.x10.com/promotions/xx11a_ed_burglar.html | |
Belt for Micro Seiki turntable I use dental floss on my 1500. It works great. But it does have an air bearing and the ability to adjust the tension. Try it, it's cheap. | |
